Ohiyo!The Treadmill Sensei will be back later on today with a new review, but I wanted to start the day off by opening up the old reader mailbag here at the DOJO. I get in tons of email every day. While I may not get back to every single person who writes in, I do read every single email I get -- well, except the Spam ones … [Read more...] about Reader Mailbag: Which is better – Treadmill or Elliptical?

Ohiyo!When I wasn't looking, someone went and moved California on to the Sun because it has been bloody hot here this past week.

I wilt! … [Read more...] about The Landice L7 Pro Sport Trainer Treadmill Review – You can’t go wrong with a Landice

Ohiyo!The Treadmill Sensei feels like he just won the Superbowl because he's going to Disneyland today! My wife has an addiction to the themepark and goes at least once a month with our daughter, her husband and my beloved grandson (who they mistakenly named after someone other than me, but I'm not bitter). My partner, Mat, … [Read more...] about The Lifespan TR2000HRC Treadmill Review – Everything but the kitchen sink

Ohiyo!This past year the Treadmill Sensei has noticed a lot of companies drop in their levels of both manufacturing and quality control. Formerly very solid companies are now shipping a lot of dead-on-arrival treadmills and ellipticals to their customers and then taking as many as 3-4 service calls before fixing the issues. … [Read more...] about Lamar Fitness Brand Review – High Quality and Great Prices

Ohiyo!Today the Treadmill Sensei is going to write about a near tragedy that occurred while reviewing today's treadmill, the BodyCraft TR1180. In the accident, I'm sad to say, my son's pride and ego were both killed.

They have a lot of treadmills and ellipticals that people see every day" At first I just laughed to myself because Proform reviews tend to be made up of me mocking some really low quality equipment by a company which doesn't care … [Read more...] about The Proform 350 Treadmill Review — One of the Worst Treadmills Under $400
